Unless she did something else, I’m really not sure I understand the logic behind prosecuting a telegraph officer for murder.

Who had the power to order and perform that circumcision?

Basically what’s happening right now is that we’re both looking at a dog. You’re telling me it’s a cat, I’m telling you it’s not a cat, and you’re accusing me of calling it a turtle.

Yeah bro, literally none of that is in any way what I said. What I said is that it’s not SEXISM.

I’m in a same-sex relationship, and I do feel the same way.

I kind of agree with Dame Helen on this one. While PDAs aren’t always possessive, I often find them to be possessive when people start that shit with me. Regardless of the gender of the person in question. It feels like they’re trying to broadcast “this one is mine” to other people. Especially if they seem to do it…

You’re blind to text. In no way am I denying that men experience the negative effects of the patriarchy, but the widely accepted definition of sexism - prejudice + power - is not a definition that fits men and their experiences. Women are the targets of sexism. Men are the primary beneficiaries of that sexism. While…

All men uphold the patriarchy even if it’s just by benefiting from it. You can actively combat something and still have a part in its continued existence, still benefit from it, still be part of the problem. I am antiracist but I recognize that I have played a part in upholding white supremacy. That’s just how life…

Jesus Christ. You aren’t even listening. Why are you so eager to blame women for your “oppression”? Why? Women did not make the patriarchy. Women did not make a system that victimizes women uniquely and primarily. Men did. Men created and uphold and benefit from the patiarchy. IDK if you know this, but the latin word…

When people say that men don’t experience sexism they’re not saying that men don’t have problems, it’s just that they are the group in power and men really don’t experience discrimination and prejudice on the basis of their sex (the dictionary definition of sexism)

Oh, jesus christ. you’re a #notallmen. Yes, all men are responsible for the patriarchy. Creating it, upholding it, benefiting from it. There are ways in which women can contribute to it, too. But yes, all men.

Crossposted: Here’s the article. The article states that the woman was one of the desnudas, was standing with the desnudas, and was panhandling and offering pictures to tourists. She is wearing pasties and a tutu, and put her daughter in the same outfit. She and her daughter are holding signs that say “N” and “Y,”…

Men experience the negative impact of the patriarchy, but they don’t experience SEXISM based on being men.

She brought her toddler into what was clearly a sexualized nudity context and dressed her up like the other women who are selling a sexual service. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with half-naked toddlers as a normative matter. Nor do I think there’s anything wrong with female nudity. If a woman and her toddler…
